Who is Martin Matějíček?
My name is Martin Matějíček and I have been riding moto trials since 2003. For those people who do not know this sport, it is a very unique and attractive non-speed event on specialized motorcycles, which is split into sections where a competitor rides through a natural or constructed obstacle course while attempting to avoid crashing, touching the ground with the feet and damaging the marking of the section. The rider with the fewest penalty points wins.
In the past, I fully dedicated myself to racing, participating in the World Championships, European Championships, and other international competitions. These experiences provided me with a solid foundation and a wealth of experiences and memories. Currently, I participate in selected competitions, focusing especially on the Czech Republic Championship series. My presence on the racing scene is now more selective, with a preference for show performances that allow me to share my passion for moto trial with audiences.
To get good results, I must keep practicing on my motorcycle almost every day. Except riding trials, I do also some other physical sports to be fit – for example cycling, cross country skiing or yoga. I’m currently also studying Ph.D. degree of Information and Knowledge Management at the University of Hradec Králové.
